The other is a bit alternative store. The alternative part leans heavily 
to heavy metal which is really popular here in Finland. There is a small 
vinyl section which has apprx. couple of hundred records and the rotation 
is really weak. I'd like to support my local dealer but I have given up

I myself have found salvation with the kind of lists that Piccadilly

Of course when I'm travelling the first thing I do is to go to the local

Since we're talking about soundclips, could someone tell me how to use 
Juno soundclips so that winamp would show what track was playing?

I usually do so that I go to the new releases section, click mp3-all and 
then they send me a playlist which is loaded to winamp. Before the 
mp3-sample plays, I see the artist but when it plays, the title is 
replaced with the filename which is gibberish.

Piccadilly doesn't seem to suffer from this problem.

(313) Recording your records?

2005-06-27 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


Hello everybody.

About backing up your record collection. I'm sure that on this list there 
is more than enough knowledge about sound processing and recording so here 
we go:


1. RIAA - Does just plain old mixer do the trick or should I purchase a 
specific RIAA amplifier (are they called that? ed.)?


2. Technics SL-1200MKII or a Hi-Fi turntable? Rega? Dual?

3. Needle + Cartridge? Ortofon?

4. Soundcard? I currently have a M-Audio Audiophile Delta 24/94 which I 
bought based on recommendation.


5. Software side and processing. What should I do after I've recorded a 
record to my computer. Currently I'm just normalizing every song after 
I've cutpasted it. What else should I do or should I skip normalizing 
altogether?



My current setup: Sl-1200, old crappy omnitronic mixer (I'm sure I would 
get better sounding result if I replace this (RIAA amplifier??), 
audiophile soundcard and normal home computer.

Re: (313) who woke everyone up?

2005-06-09 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


Yes something has definetly happened :) Maybe it's the spring/summer sun 
luring moody underground techno heads out of their lairs ...


Kompakt: I've bought many records, Speicher 10, speicher 28, both rex the 
dogs on kompakt extra, both orbs (gonna buy the third one aswell) and 
many others.


New records: Nothing special, dj t's new 12 which was nice techhouse, 
couple of mathew jonhson records waiting in the post office. Oh and that 
new dj Gregory's Head talking is also waiting for me at the Oulu post 
office. Realy looking forward to that.


Busy weekend coming up, gonna play one club gig, one reclaim-the-street 
gig and one techno party gig :) Can't remember when I had so many gigs in 
one weekend :D


How is the Reclaim-the-Street movement in other countries?

(313) new records

2005-05-17 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


omar s - 005 LP
- Moody jerky deep. I like this. Couple of tunes with hit potential.

Michael mayer  reinhard voigt / the modernist - Speicher 28
- Another hit ep from these two guys. Rolling driving party techhouse.

Juan Atkins - Berlin sessions
- Finally I have this. Good, nuff said?

Nathan Fake - Dinamo
- If you liked the hit single the sky was pink, you'll like this.
Jerky/quirky strange techhouse, me likes a lot!

Grace Jones + Dj Hell - I've seen that face before
- Cheeky(?) electronic dance floor oriented stuff. Hope this goes down
well

Jori Hulkkonen Feat. Jerry Valuri - Lo-Fiction
- Very very very good remixes of the hit single by Tuomas Salmela  Star
you star me. Deep and techy!

The Visitors - The race
- I owe it to the 313 list for buying this. I got interested in this
Henrik Schwarz guy and decided to listen to couple of his remixes. And
when somebody said this remix restored his faith to house music, I can see
why. This record is Brilliant!

Freak Seven - Pitch black
- New New Religion release. After couple so-so releases this is right on
the money. I like this very very much. Damn groovy techno.

Keith Tucker - Detroit Saved my soul
- Another gem found with the help of this list.


Cheers to everybody for helping me find quality records :-)

RE: (313) iPod DJ

2005-04-15 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


Regarding performind dj vs. just-ol-record-spinning-dj.

I played a set at my home club after a long break and I had the best time 
behind the turntables. Dunno whether it was the break or what, but hearing the 
crowd cheering when playing a good BOOM BOOM BOOM ubercoolische just made me 
smile whilst browsing my records. That's the connection. Audience giving me 
feedback whether I should keep this track for another 32/64 on or whether to 
change the atmosphere all together. I don't concider me being a performing 
dj, just a lucky guy who gets a chance to play his favourite tunes at a club 
now and then and liking the fact that there are small amount of people liking 
the same kind of music. Sharing the music?


To sum up, there must be a connection between the audience and the dj, but 
whether the connection is being made by dj punching through the air or just 
casually smiling or what ever, it doesn't really matter (at least to me). I 
like to see now and then dj smiling, because then I know he is having a good 
time and that can only mean positive vibes towards the dancefloor.


Ok, pretty useless rant, everybody knows these things now that I proof read my 
post :)

Seems like this is some kind of common way for dj's of telling where the 
records are and how they sound. I have tons of records that I know by 
their looks. My mental process goes something like: Hmm, there is this 
track on the record which has white and yellow sleeve and the record has 
red labels. It's on the picture side track two. It would go perfectly 
with this track..

Re: (313) Paris?

2005-03-14 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


Hi all, I'm back from Paris. You guys have been busy here, almost 400 new 
messages in one week!


Went to few places which were recommended and I have to praise 12 inch 
records (in Rue De Turbigo) for their good selection and for their help.


Here's the list that managed to creep in my bag while I was in paris 
(also few records from piccadilly):


Recloose - dust
- Love this record.

Fat Freddys Drop - Flasback / Midnight marauders live
- I think the original midnight marauders is one of the best tunes I know 
and I just had to get this. If it is even possible, this live version 
might be even better than the original. HIT!


Candi Staton - Pepe bradock mixes
- Finally managed to get this.

Innerzone Orchestra - Bug in the bassbin
- Another record that I've tried to hunt down for ages. I'm so happy :-)

Matthew Johnson - followed by angels (iiwii 10)
- Whoo, new stuff from iiwii. Only quirk for me on this ep is the 
sample/sound that is also used in the deconstruction ep. Anyway, very 
good and epic deep techno/techhouse.


Ben Watt feat. Estelle and baby blak - outspoken part 1 (buzzingfly 10)
- Totally unknown label to me but very good quality house! If anybody 
cares, it must be a good house tune (atleast for me) if I'll buy house 
nowadays. It seems like ages since I bought proper vocal house. I like 
this one.


Alessandroni, Paul  Honesty : Tridem Remixed Vol.2
- Good remix-ep. Broken beat, house and such...

Syclops - Mom, The Video Broke
- New stuff from maurice fulton. Other side nice downtempo electronic 
groover and on the other side very good wacky electroish track. I think 
the description in piccadilly was a bit more accurate. Anyway, listen to 
this record too :)


NYC2 - NYC2
- Black label, no infos. VERY good deep techno/ tech-house. It's in Juno 
atleast. Highly recommended. If anybody knows more information on this, I 
would love to hear...

Thanks for this link.

While we are still discussing (are we) in terms of 
somebody-meets-somebody, this sounds a bit like the earlies meets dribs.


I've been caning lately all the earlies stuff that I could find as well as 
all the Skam (well mostly bola) stuff I could find. Lucky me, Skam has a 
very good webshop and the good people in piccadilly have been most kind 
when it comes to the earlies :) Friend of mine introduced me to Bola in 
year 2004 and I've been trying to find something like that ever since. 
Dribs' Open Log book is somewhat in that vein and I liked it _very_ 
much.


Can somebody point me to some producers/labels that sound something like 
aparat/dribs/bola?

Re: (313) Italian dj fined over one million

2005-02-18 Thread Jari Tolkkinen


On the topic of who gets the money.

Do you guys think it's morally wrong to download a song that is somehow 
impossible to get? We all know many cases where the record has been long 
deleted and it is only possible to get from ebay/gemm/where ever.


Example: Let's assume I whip up 40-50e for a record (current asking for 
DBX - Losing control remixes for example), how does that benefit the 
artist? It only benefits the guy who managed to buy a copy at the time it 
was available.


I say we need either more re-presses and/or good mp3 stores. I think we 
are seeing the both happening now. I love those 
planet-e/metroplex/transmat represses, I'm buying them like hot cakes. I 
also love bleep where I can buy long lost tracks by Drexciya and others.


This then brings us to the issue of everybody can be a dj. I think we 
all have those limited edition and white label gems which we guard like 
hawks. I confess that I'm a little pissed if a dj plays the tune from cd-r 
that I've been hunting down for ages. But you know what, this is the 
modern days and I think it's good that anybody can be a dj. And by anybody 
can be a dj, I mean anybody can go to bleep and buy the drexciya's journey 
home (like I did a while ago :)) and play that funky music. I think the 
vast selection of records just emphasizes the selection skills and 
technique of the dj. It also emphasizes the fact that a good dj has to 
have some kind of knowledge about the history of dance music. There is 
millions and millions good tunes made today and in the future there will 
be even more. But to weed out the good tunes from the sea of electronic 
music, you have to know who are the good producers that you like, which 
labels puts out funky tunes etc etc.


In one sentence: Dedication to music in whole.

Have a good weekend,

Re: (313) Portable mp3 recorders?

2004-11-25 Thread Jari Tolkkinen

Hi.

I bought a IAudio M3 (40gig version). It boasts with the playing time and 
seems like a really nice piece of work. I've had it only for couple of 
weeks but I'm convinced that this rocks :-) The main unit is the size of a 
pack of cigarettes and it doesn't contain any screen. The only screen is 
in the remote control.

I haven't recorded any sets yet but I'm planning on recording couple of 
sets in the future so stay tuned. 

Only drawback that I can see is that it doesn't record to wav, only to mp3 
(320kbs being the highest rate).

If anybody has more questions, hit me back privately.

(313) New records

Just got some new records:

Dj Bone - Longevity ep one and two 
- These two rock. Although I haven't lost my faith on detroit techno, I 
got this feeling of regaining I listened these two. Ace!

Aardvarck - Cult copy part 2
- Wish I could get the first part since this rocks. The original mix is 
nice but mr. Craig hits the bullseye with his remix. 

Beatfanatic - Adventures in the world of no-fi beats
- Not strictly 313 stuff but latin beats from Sweden. Due to sample 
clearing problems limited press, so get yours while you can. I recommend 
this highly.

Château Flight - Les antipodes (remixes)
- The Joakim remix is s good. I can't wait to get this thing playing 
in front of an audience.

Heh. I like the fact that it's friday again. 

Speaking of one of my favourite producer, has he done anything lately? 
Last thing that I bought from him was that ep on new religion.

- Hiphop
- Reggae

 Incidentally for the gig I just mentioned in a previous post I've purchased
 a pair of those Freefloat things (bright orange, weirdly shaped inflatable
 cushions you put your decks on) in an attempt to reduce feedback which seems
 to the limiting factor with our set up at the venue we're playing.  Does
 anyone know if they work for this purpose?  The makers reckon you should be
 able to turn your system up 20 - 30 dB more (so I guess they must provide
 20 - 30 dBrw?).

They seem to be big thing in Holland. I played there a gig couple of weeks 
ago and the venue had Freefloats under their decks. AFAIK they were 
invented in Holland for the Dancevalley event (correct me if I'm wrong).

Couple of points. I correct my mixes when the both channels are playing on
top of eachother with the pitch fader. That felt really odd at first since
the deck was wobbling back and forth. This was due to the fact that the
decks were quite new and the pitches were very tight. How ever the needle
didn't jump once during my 2,5h. Hmm, that was actually just one point :D

Any hoo, I ordered couple of those from a friend of mine. I like to play 
without the 'floats but there are couple of places where they are more 
than welcome.

(313) Throbbin gristle remixes

2004-05-21 Thread Jari Tolkkinen

Hi.

Haven't seen this discussed here before so here goes. 

I love the remix album titled Mutant throbbing gristle. Throbbing gristle 
remixed by Carl Craig, Simon Ratcliffe (basement jaxx), two lone swordmen 
among others.

Two lone swordmen deliver a nice straight techno remixes of United 
(instrumental  vocal while C. Craig works on his magic on Hot on the 
heels of love. Pretty usual (if you can say that) C. Craig mix in my 
opinion. 

The track that really stands out (for me atleast) is the Simon's remix of 
Hot on the heels of love. Boom, what an ace job he has done with the 
original! 10/10 for this remix :)
